There will be a new champion on the European Tour this evening at the German Darts Grand Prix with Michael van Gerwen's reign as the king of Munich coming crashing down in some style.
Luke Humphries did what Van Gerwen has done to many in previous years on the European Tour by producing a stunning whitewash win.
Van Gerwen averaged only 90 with only one dart at double throughout the contest compared to three 180's, a 107 average and 7/12 from 'Cool Hand Luke'
Back-to-back 15-darters showed ominous signs early on for Humphries who began with a 109 checkout and an 80 to break. He consolidated and pounced to seal a double break with Van Gerwen not getting out of second gear pinning a 98 checkout.
An 11-dart hold followed in the form of an 81 checkout before another break almost sealed Van Gerwen's fate.
A 134 and 123 start on Humphries throw with Van Gerwen unable to pressure allowed Humphries multiple match darts but he pinned it second time of asking on double four to seal it in double quick time.
This diminished the performance of his fellow finalist, Martin Lukeman with the World Number 74 producing another incredible display to dump out Damon Heta.
In the process, Lukeman has reached his maiden PDC ranking final and will aim to topple 'Cool Hand Luke' after seeing off the Australian Number One 7-5.
It was a game of ridiculous finishing from Lukeman. Heta couldn't hit the bull and he showed him how with a bull-25-bull to go 4-3 up and again he produced a ton topping checkout to win it with a 112 checkout. Can he go all the way? Either way we will have a new winner shortly.

That is simply unbelievable from Luke Humphries! He WHITEWASHES Michael van Gerwen 7-0 in the Semi-Finals, averaging 107 in the process. Van Gerwen had never lost in this tournament, but is dumped out in style! Humphries will now face Martin Lukeman for the title!
